Ryan Phillippe and his Flags of Our Fathers co-star Jesse Bradford – pictured below – come out to support Jason Segel at the soft opening of LA’s new hotspot, The Writers Room, on Thursday (October 13).

Also in attendance at the launch were Mad Men‘s Jon Hamm, Parks & Recreation‘s Rashida Jones, and Sanaa Lathan, as well as the bar’s founding members, nightlife king Nur Khan, film producer Holly Wiersma and Abdi Manavi. The bar’s supporting partners include Jason, Boardwalk Empire‘s Jack Huston, Vanity Fair‘s Krista Smith, and screenwriter William Monahan.

The Writers Room, which is located off the alleyway just north of Hollywood Boulevard between Las Palmas and Cherokee Avenue, occupies the space known in the ’30s and ’40s as the “back room” of Hollywood’s oldest restaurant, Musso and Frank.

Dakota Fanning, Bryce Dallas Howard and Julia Jones all hit the black carpet at the premiere of their new movie, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, during the 2010 Los Angeles Film Festival held at Nokia Theatre on Thursday (June 24).

Here’s what the 29-year-old actress had to share in the issue photographed by celeb shutterbug Mitchell McCormack:

On her favorite Eclipse scene to film: “[My favorite was] one of the last scenes in the big battle toward the end. Those scenes have a great combination of action and emotional depth. Also, most of the characters are in them. I found shooting in the midst of all that chaos was great fun.”

On why she likes playing Leah Clearwater, a Native American: “One of the best parts about playing a member of the wolfpack, all of whom are Quileute, is that I don’t think of us in ethnic terms. Each character has so many intricate layers of detail that have to do with our back stories and our individual struggles. That is something I relish.”

Bryce is a self-proclaimed Twi-hard: “I had seen Twilight innumerable times. After I saw it for the fourth time, one of my best guy friends, for my birthday, made me Post-it notes with Robert Pattinson’s face that said, ‘Live Dangerously,’ because I was so obsessed. My husband actually said to me, ‘Do I need to be worried about this?’”
